Power to override

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

The troll may appear stupid to progressives when he talks about a "'so-called' judge", but he is dog-whistling to his supporters. Most of them think he should have the power to override judges.

Excluding Iranian refugees

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

Excluding Iranian refugees — typically fleeing because they are opposed to the Islamist regime — is self-defeating for the US as well as cruel to them.

500-pound bomb

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

An unexploded 500-pound bomb dropped on Thessaloniki in World War II was just found, and before trying to defuse it, they are evacuating people over a mile away.

A bomb that size can demolish a building, but such a large evacuation seems hypercautious. The evacuation will do substantial economic harm and it too has a chance of causing harm to someone's health.

Illegal voting

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

Rosa María Ortega, a Mexican citizen who has lived in the US since infancy and thought she was allowed to vote, was sentenced to 8 years in prison for illegal voting.

I don't think the term "fraud" applies, since she did not lie about anything. She just registered and voted.

The unusual severity of her sentence was caused by talking about the troll's fictitious claims. It will probably cause her to deported to a country she has no memory of living in, and may not be able to survive in.
